THE INCARNATION.
Rev. G. Il. Morrill, Talks About the
Birth of JeSuS Christ.

Ancient philosophy thought an incar-
nation possible. Prophecy declared it.
Heathenism and Judaism prepared the
Janus was closed and one language pre-
vailed the Son of God was born in
Bethlehem of Judea.
The divine word had been uttered in
the creation of a material, vegetable
and animal world, which could declare
but not perceive Gods glory, and so He
made man in his own image, of reason
and conscience, and continued to speak
in widened and deepened love until
His word became flesh and dWelt
among men as the full revelation
of the Fathers glory and grace.
Without controversy. great is the mys-
terry Of goodness God manifeSts in the
flesh. The incarnation is not contrary
to law but i'll keeping with a higher
than earthly law, which has its seat in
the eternal and infinite Father.
Every child born into the world has a
mission for good or evil. Napoleon,
with the Centurian, confessed Him to
be the Son of God. To make Him any
thing less is to make Him more devil
than old BeelZebub.
The Jesus we worship and love is not
the Jesus of Strauss, VOltaire, Boiling
broke or rockingham, but of Johns
gospel. To profess love for Him and
then turn about and disobey and deny
Him and his scriptures-tO rave and
rant and write about Him as Rousseau,
and then proceed to wallow in wanton-
ness is to invite and merit damnation.
Bethlehem can only be understood
through calvary. and the divine love
which gave them is what fills all the
volumes of past, present and future.
The Star in the East still shineS-may
it lead us to bring Jesus the incense of
prayer, the gold of benevolence, the
myrrh of conservation till in heaven we
see the King in His beauty and know
the full meaning of the angel chorus,
"Glory to God i'll the highest and on
earth peace. good will toward men,"

IN MINNEAPOLIS.
A Model Christmas To-day to be
Observed Also.

When Christmas and Sunday reach
Minneapolis together il is naturally not
much of a day for uprOariouS hilarity.
As it was, yesterday turned out model
Christmas in every respect, except the
one which cut the working world out
of holiday. Many employers and all
of the public offices, except the courts,
will observe to-day, however, and enjoy
the advantage of two holidays in one.
The city was very quiet yesterday, with
little to mark the day as other than
regular Sunday. The weather was
superb, and admitted of all season.
able outdoor enjoyment, and
the sleighing and skating were
not only excellent, but fully taken adj
vantage of. The churches were un-
usually well attended. and the grand
musical programmes at many of them,
notably the Catholic and Episcopal,
were of the anthems and carols peculiar
to the great Christian holiday. The
annual Christmas dinner had its VOtaries
everywhere, in private houses and pub
lie hotels, even the jails. and other re-
fOrmatory and benevolent institutions
coming in for special menu. The
places of amusement that do Sunday
business enjoyed double patronage.
and gave the only secular air 10 an
otherwise thoroughly sacred day.

THE MIRACULOUS BIRTH.
An Interesting Sermon Preached
by Rev, III. NJ. Simmons.

II. N. Simmons preached about THE
Miraculous Birth He first traced the
show rise and growth of the doctrine
The genealogical tables trace the line
age of Jesus through Joseph, and the
New Testament repeatedly says that He
was the son OF Joseph. But in time the
same legend grew about Jesus, which
had grown about scores of men before
Him. and He like them was represented
without human father. Mr.. Simmons
said the rejection of this legend would
not harm, but help the Christmas lesson.
1t is more honorable to Jesus to suppose
that He was the natural son of Joseph,
and gained His divine greatness by
human effort. than to suppose He was
perfect God from all eternity and good
because He could not he otherwise. 1t
is more honorable to Deity TO suppose
that He was not limited to Jesus and
slain in Him, but ever lives in
all who love, as the apostle
says. Nor was Jesus's birth any
less divine because natural. A
truer view shows every birth divine,
and hence gives Christmas an infinitely
larger meaning. Every birth is miracu-
lOus, too. for who can explain it? Edwin
Arnold. after speaking of the infinite
@onder of birth, says miracles are
common enough" And who can think
sDt its mystery without cOnfeSsing that
4they are as common as the cradle, and
that every human birth is more miracu-
1ous than any Christmas tale has told?

lively one for the succeeding six

the rush was so great that partitions
were cracked and strained and panes
of glass shattered. The boys fought for

No other paper was thought of for

Boys staggered out of the Office

converted into cash and new supplies

BEHIND THE BARS.
Prisoners in the Old County Jail

The prisoners at the county Jail spent
Christmas the same as any other day

stuck in the Jail walls, and the same de-

with pretty things and dainty candies,
because they didn't hang their socks

feet warm. Still the day had a very

THE HUMANITY OF GOD.
Il Is Not Limited, but Is and AL
WAYS will Be BOundless.


ways will Be Boundless.
AT the Church of the Redcemer. Rev.
Marion D.Shntter preached Christmas
sermon son the humanity of God. He
said: In the use of this term do not
mean to convey the idea of limitation in
God. In every direction and in every
attribute He is boundlesS. We are al
ways to remember that He is not alto
gether such an one as ourselves. That
His ways are higher than our ways, and
His thoughts than our thoughts. The
human mind cannot compass the infinite
and eternal. From its lOftieSt flights
the imagination returns with dropping
wings that have beaten the air in vain.
And yet we must know something of
God. We must have glimpses where
perfect vision is impossible. We have
some "reminiscences of our origin
clinging to our personality,
some feature of our high parentage.
BY the humanity of God, therefore, /
mean those qualities i'll Him which cor
respond with the best and highest quail
tiles in us. He whose glory flashed
from the sun, whose power awakes in
the sea. reveals his tenderness and love
in the heart of man in the life of Jesus,
our elder brother. The humanity of
God is revealed in the teachings of
Jesus. What hideOus deities the world
had wOrshiped. What Jupiters and
M0lOchs. What obscene and cruel con-
ceptions. The word father" as ap-
piled to God, is used two or three times
in the Old Testament. but Jesus first
put the term into general currency. 1t
is the key-wOrd of the New Testament
1t banishes the fear of the slave and
makes love and reverence possible. The
humanity of God is shown in what
Jesus teaches of His care, His impair
TALLY. His relation to sin. the outcome
Of all things. 1t is shown in the
life of Jesus, himself, and in
the lives of all good men.
The idea of Gods humanity is needed
to make the universe and human life
Ineligible. If we can believe that at
the center of this encompaSSing mys-
tery-pain and loss, and sorrow, and
darkneSS-there is yet a harmoniZing
principle and an intelligent and benefi-
cent purpose: if anyone can show US
the Father 1t Suf1iceth us. Browning
has sung:
The loving worm within its CIOd.
Were diviner than q loveleSs God
Amid His worlds, will dare 10 say.
If He is Father-if there be a touch of
humanity in HIS nature-then He can
not regard us with Indifference: He
cannot be insensible to our love and
service. The Worship of the sincere
heathGn offered to a hideOusly carved
block of wood. offered in blindness and
ignorance, finds its way to the bosom of
God, and is accepted of Him."

GEN. ALGER'S GIFTS.
The Poor of Detroit to Receive
$15O.OOO in Charity.

Special TO the Globe.
DETROIT. Mich, Dee. 25.-To-morrow
Gen. X. a. Alger will begin to dispense,
through his agents, charitable gifts to
the probable amount of s150,000, while
they may reach an even higher figure.
Last year he gave suits of clothes to 500
newsboys and sent flour and coal to
scores of homes. Despite the fact that
the general was somewhat imposed on
then, he will this year repeat his
gift on a much larger scale.
Nearly 1900 newsboys will be
given suits of clothes, and over
1000 families will be given a ton of coal
and barrel of flour. The dispensing
of this charity will extend over week,
and meantime Gen. Alger will leave for
his redwood lumber camp in California,
to be gone all winter. None of those
who will receive coal and flour know of
Gen. Ayers intentions, and the gifts
will therefore come wholly as surprise.
The distribution will begin tomorrow,
100 families being supplied directly
from dealers.
